Level Contest 8: DarkMatt Plays Your Levels and Insults You.

[SMBXxer]

This is one of the best things to happen since the time SMBXxer had his freakout a week or two back.

Stop.

Anyways, this is funny.
Yeah, I tried to make a bad level, so, that's what that piece of shit is.
Hahaha, 10/10.
Would up-rep if I could.

EDIT: Also, I think saying that I can't do anything good at all with the editor is a bit harsh.

[D. Flair]

So... Why the hell did they NOT choose you to be one of the level reviewers for the contest? Surely they had to have asked. Did you rebuff them?

Anyway if you don't hurry up and post Tier 2 reviews in the next 5 seconds i will fucking rape you

Edit: You leave me no choice...

[Darkonius Mavakar]

I approve this topic.

Honestly, this is some hilarious stuff.

i approve this approval.

also, Darkmatt you have steam :>?

[zlaker]

Why aren't you a judge for cc8 :(

[DarkMatt]

You already have Emral.

2nd tier coming in like, couple hours.

Also fuck you Emral.

[RoundPiplup]

I voted only Ermal on the poll because he said something about my level that made me get that rad feeling. Does the graphics REALLY have to matter? Everyone else seemed decent/good judges.

Soon, I will try to show you the Luigi Death Stare to you...

[RudeGuy]

Emral have 8 votes, lol.

[RoundPiplup]

Emral have 8 votes, lol.

Ermal's gaining the hate from several people.

Spoiler: show

This is for you Ermal.

Tier 2 and Tier 3 has been released, can't wait for your comments

[DarkMatt]

Message of the Day:
-Here's the crap that didn't get last place loser status. Out of the like, 15 or so I played, like, 2 of them actually get scores higher than 2. Also, this is when you start to seriously question what the hell the judges were on.

#56:

Spoiler: show

Koopa Troopa Beach Brawl
Person to Blame: JangoFred
Difficulty: 1/5

Gameplay: 1/5
Aesthetics: 1/5 (GUESS WHO ALSO FORGOT MUSIC? IT'S LIKE PACKAGING THINGS AND TYPING THINGS IN ACCURATELY IS SO HARD.)
Where's The Koopas Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 1

DarkMatt sez:There's a theme and some set pieces and not a whole lot else. This else is also really boring. Also, how hard is it for you clowns to PLACE YOUR STARS IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE PLAYER CANNOT KILL HIMSELF AFTER GETTING IT

#55:

Spoiler: show

Gray-Rock Pass
Person to Blame: 8bitmushroom
Difficulty: 0/zzzzz

Gameplay: 1/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Backtracking Bonus: 0/5

FINAL SCORE: 1

DarkMatt sez:Do you ever think about how players can get through your level? Because it looks like you just slapped shit down wherever and called it good. You're not doing guided tours of museum exhibits, you're making a fucking level.

#54:

Spoiler: show

Kampfschiff 1K
Person to Blame: MECHDRAGON777
Difficulty: You got a Map?/I lost mine.

Gameplay: 1/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Cancerous Lump of Paths Bonus: 0/5

FINAL SCORE: 1

DarkMatt sez:Everything in this god damn level only serves to make it more longer and confusing, not like, say, give the player an idea of where to go, or, provide any hint towards progress, or even close off paths you've already been to because there's nothing there. And another thing, this level does everything it can to be that 1st place winner and you can see it uses tricks both neat and stupid. Fuck's sake this isn't Metroid. You can make a big level without having it be a fucking slog to go through.

#53:

Spoiler: show

Bowser Jr.'s High Tower
Person to Blame: Kingbowser112
Difficulty: 3/dyslexic

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Intruder Excluder Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 1.66

DarkMatt sez:Level's boring and Boss is dumb. Boss was almost going to be acceptable until it started cycling through every graphic named "Bowser Jr." for padding out the fight.

#52:

Spoiler: show

Ice Glacier
Person to Blame: GrätselBüchner
Difficulty: 2/5

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Color Challenged Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 1.66

DarkMatt sez:There's a couple of neat ideas that are treated like stepping stones to the theme. That is terrible, but not as bad as this horrible graphic selection. Seriously, this looks awful.

#51:

Spoiler: show

The Old Kingdom
Person to Blame: schm2000
Difficulty: 4/poison

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 3/5
Poison Mushroom Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 2

DarkMatt sez:Do you just loathe the idea of people testing the copious amounts of bricks and blocks you've put in this level and you want to punish them every step of the way? Do you passively hate the player that much? Custom boss was also dumb.

#50:

Spoiler: show

SMBX random sections can be confused
Person to Blame: LitDude
Difficulty: 0/5

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Downgrade Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 1.66

DarkMatt sez:I dunno what made you think you can get away with complete style changes whenever you please but you're bad at it and you should leave it to the people who know what they're doing.

#49:

Spoiler: show

Vile Volcano
Person to Blame: Aeon Wisp
Difficulty: 1/5

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 4/5
The Rock Bonus: 2/5

FINAL SCORE: 2.66

DarkMatt sez:These boulders makes this short level easy. This short level even has backtracking, so technically it's even shorter. I mean come the fuck on can't you put in a little more effort into this?

#48:

Spoiler: show

Sharp Objects Are Usually Deadly
Person to Blame: Imaynotbehere4long
Difficulty: IT'S/BOSHY/TIME!

Gameplay: 3/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Actually Works Bonus: 4/5

FINAL SCORE: 3

DarkMatt sez:I am impressed and disappointed. On one hand, this is one of the neater tricks around to avoid punishing the player; I highly approve. On the other, fucking kaizo level. Oh well, it balances out.

#47:

Spoiler: show

Volcanic Valley
Person to Blame: andregemeo23
Difficulty: 3/UR2SLOW

Gameplay: 3/5
Aesthetics: 3/5
Lava IS Slow, Actually Bonus: 2/5

FINAL SCORE: 2.66

DarkMatt sez:This level starts off neat, then undergoes a style change, (im iffy on sudden changes in atmosphere) then does a very slow section, and then gives the player no warning at the end that MAYBE HE SHOULD GOFAST. (compared to the rest of the level) There's plenty of things done right with this level and plenty of things that needed to have a second look, like how the warning signs don't actually help all that much.

#46:

Spoiler: show

Touch Fuzzy Get Done
Person to Blame: SuperWingedYoshi
Difficulty: 4/5

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Straight Ahead Bonus: 2/5

FINAL SCORE: 2

DarkMatt sez:Okay here's a gimmick, here's minimal graphics, and here's things to do. Sounds like a winner right? Until you play it and realize the level can't decide on what to use and it is actually very strict on not slowing down because you don't know what the shit is happening. It's like the designer never put himself in the player's shoes.

Spoiler: show

Ice Path
Person to Blame: Blueoak
Difficulty: 3/5

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 3/5
Spike Bonus: 2/5

FINAL SCORE: 2.33

DarkMatt sez:Fuck your usage of spikes, also fuck your mandatory fire flower section. What the fuck?

#44:

Spoiler: show

Pyramid of Doom
Person to Blame: Star
Difficulty:3/TCGA

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 3/5
Bombed Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 2.33

DarkMatt sez:This is another one of those "Used a million fucking different NPCs for 'challenge variety' and they all suck" levels and when your level starts out with waiting for bombs to explode, you know it's going to be dumb as shit.

FROZEN IS DA BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Person to Blame: castlewars
Difficulty: 2?3?Ididnothavethepatiencetofinishthis/5

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 2/5
Length Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 1.66

DarkMatt sez:Oh hey I was wondering where the "GOES ON FOR TOO FUCKING LONG" level was in this contest. I stopped trying when I had to go through a huge shit ass ass shit level to find 8 fucking red coins because fuck you. Only thing worse than scavenger hunts are bad puzzles.

#42:

Spoiler: show

Cloud Controll
Person to Blame: MidiGuyDP
Difficulty: 2/TRACTIONWHYYYYY

Gameplay: 2/5
Aesthetics: 3/5
Slips McGee Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 2

DarkMatt sez:Terrible gimmicks. If the really bad looking rotary platforms that will slide you off because you didn't land on it squarely wasn't enough, try some timed cloud platforms that are there to....be there. WHY ARE THEY THERE? HOW DO THEY CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR SHITTY LEVEL?

#41:

Spoiler: show

Concrete Forest
Person to Blame: mariogeek2
Difficulty: 2/What the fuck made you think wet concrete was a grand old idea?

Gameplay: 1/5
Aesthetics: 1/5
Themes Can't Buy Happiness Bonus: 1/5

FINAL SCORE: 1

DarkMatt sez:I hate your theme, I hate your quicksand, I hate your lakitus, I hate your boss, I hate your lack of aesthetics or even things other than ground and enemies, and I hate YOU.

[RudeGuy]

I like the screenshots as GIFs.

[Kyo]

lol just now noticed the scores were actually out of 5, after seeing the #41 review.

Who voted for Chad being the worst judge? He was like, super-careful with his reviews. He was overly generous, but did give valid points if he had to rate a level a little bit lower. I don't really get that.

Also RoundPiplup, it's Emral, not Ermal, ffs. That name is so simple and you fail to spell it correctly.

[RoundPiplup]

I wouldn't vote anyone but Ermal for making that one rad thing in his review at my level that I submitted to CC8.

[SuperWingedYoshi]

Well, I got 2/5 from DarkMatt. Better than 1/5. Woohoo. Guess I can be proud or something.
Looking forward to Tier 3!

[RoundPiplup]

Well, I got 2/5 from DarkMatt. Better than 1/5. Woohoo. Guess I can be proud or something.

It's better than getting a 0.

[SuperWingedYoshi]

Well, I got 2/5 from DarkMatt. Better than 1/5. Woohoo. Guess I can be proud or something.

It's better than getting a 0.

Yeah. But it's better than a 1, too.
Also, 2 means my level is okay, according to the first post. That just gives me more motivation to make a better level for CC9.

Same here... Unless if Emral screws it up again like what happened to my level at CC8. (It's just your graphics. You don't need to deduct points just because it's your graphics.)

[antoinefunbros]

I love the .gif images.

[Superiorstar]

Darkmatt your such a hypocrite.

[HenryRichard]

i get so score good!!111!!1one!!1!1

Lol, I was actually entertained by you telling me I did so bad .
